1.2.1 Installing from a Network Server Using
SLP
If your network setup supports OpenSLP and your network installation source has been
congured to announce itself via SLP (described in Section 2.2, “Setting Up the Server
Holding the Installation Sources” (page 46)), boot the system, press F4 in the boot
screen and select SLP from the menu.
The installation program congures the network connection with DHCP and retrieves
the location of the network installation source from the OpenSLP server. If the automatic
DHCP network conguration fails, you are prompted to enter the appropriate parameters
manually. The installation then proceeds as described below with the exception of the
network conguration step that is needed prior to adding additional repositories. This
step is not needed as the network is already congured and active at this point.
